ISBN10: 157230040X, ISBN13: 9781572300408, [publisher: Guilford Publications, New York] Softcover Paperback. Now available in paperback for the first time, this classic work presents a cognitive-semiotic framework for understanding how maps work as powerful, abstract, and synthetic spatial representations. Explored are the ways in which the many representational choices inherent in mapping interact with information processing and knowledge construction, and how the resulting insights can be used to make informed symbolization and design decisions. A new preface to the paperback edition situates the book within the context of contemporary technologies. As the nature of maps continues to evolve, Alan MacEachren emphasizes the ongoing need to think systematically about the ways people interact with and use spatial information. This edition provides an up-to-date overview of the changes in legislation and policy of transportation planning that have occurred since the 1980s. The book combines historical material, description of travel at aggregate and disaggregate levels, methodology and policy descriptions.
